Can our troops fight a real war?
-
No live excercise, but real bloody war that we sporeans dun even dare to think or talk about..but when the time comes, no western power will come to our aid..we have to do it ourselves..can our troops really defend and repel?
-
mz hav confident wif dem la
-
We have too many indian chief.
-
Nope, unaided in the even of an invasion Singapore is screwed.
-
Depends on who the enemy is... And these things are kinda hard to predict... There may be unforseen circumstances...
-
well, depends on the training you guys received...
and PLEASE. ENOUGH OF THIS KIND OF "can our troops do this? can our troops do that? can our troops shoot laser beams from their eyes?" CRAP THREADS! -
What kind of R. statement is this?Originally posted by T.Ryousuke:We have too many indian chief.No live excercise, but real bloody war that we sporeans dun even dare to think or talk about..but when the time comes, no western power will come to our aid..we have to do it ourselves..can our troops really defend and repel?
I believe our troops can defend Singapore
We are a participant in the Five-Power Defence Arrangement
Under this arrangement, joint military and naval maneuvers are held annually
With Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom
Other than that Singapore maintains relationships
With the armed forces of Brunei, France, Thailand, Taiwan and the US
Primarily for the purpose of training.
When we train with other experienced armies
We gauge our own training and theirs
We take note of their strengths and weaknesses
And also take note of our own strengths and weaknesses
I'd would say that Singapore army is good enough already
I don't know if you guys saw a news clip that aired last year
The SAF sent a contingent to the US for a live 3G excercise
A high ranking US colonel/general? commented that he was impressed with the contingent's capabilities
But no matter how technologically good an army is
It'd collapse under an inferior one if the soldiers aren't psycologically motivated.
When war comes, would Singaporean males be motivated?
We'll see then

When the British failed Singapore
We realised that it was up to us to defend Singapore
Instead of relying on others
That's why we created an armed forces!
Even though it is small
It is nonetheless highly trained and well equipped.
Even though we don't have any real battle experience
We have trained with armies who do(previous post)
Even if a better armed forces attack us
WE'D be sure to leave a bloodied nose -
I pray that the day never happen if it does...there will be a huge losses of lives...many sufferings and cries for the younger generation nver went thru
Sg need to find way to expand her size if she wish to outlive all of us...how many island city states survive? even Hawaii is bigger than us -
another waste time thread.
why?
most people write yes and no without any basis and or reasons.
Factors affecting the subject are wide and vague. Example, fight with who? What is a real war to you? When TS says real war, he may be tinking of Vietnam/WW2 type, whereas someone else maybe be thinking high-tech type war.
End of the day some will wanna impose their views on others and a flame war will start.
Oh ya, flame war... -
BY asking this question , it means u have no faith in sg's armed forces and security .
When theres war in sg , i would be willing to sacrifice for sg .
Think , u would rather deal with the enemy and there might be chance that singapore would not be occupied than u let sg be occupied and suffer under tha hands of the dictator -
just force the enemy to "follow the law.." or sent a complain king to the enemy head to break the person down.Originally posted by Catknight:No live excercise, but real bloody war that we sporeans dun even dare to think or talk about..but when the time comes, no western power will come to our aid..we have to do it ourselves..can our troops really defend and repel? -
If our Army are made up of people like TS, then 100% sure cannot make it.

Ever seen a foreign military commander/diplomat say that another countries armed forces is fucked up?
The question here is not whether if our troops will fight a war...but whether our mutant "X-Men" the scholars and what not will be there in a foxhole next to your everyday farmer peasant with a SAR21/U100/M203 aimed towards the advancing enemies...or will they be the first to say...See ya pals! we will return to pick up the pieces. -
I think can but first they must kick out the ruling party.
The citizen army is not motivated to defend the country if the current ruling party is still in power. -
That's right. The ally must be either US or Russia. That's where the sophisticated weapons are available.Originally posted by jondizzle foshizzle:Nope, unaided in the even of an invasion Singapore is screwed.
Singapore armed forces need reform. I prefer the IDF's egalitarian spirits. The generals and senior officers must lead in battles. -
Mentally, the boys would fight til the end because if we lose, we have no where to run.
On the other hands, I don't trust the "scholars" officers to be combat-efficient. -
singapore has been conquered without a fight. and most people didnt even realize that.
-
does anyone knows what is the meant of the 'thinking' soljier?

thinking can mean many things.
can mean thinking about anything under the sun.
thus i wonder what is the thinking about the 'thinking'.
what are they thinking ?
what is the thinking referring to ?
think but must able to do also, i supposedly. -
Someone in my camp once said
We will win a war only if we fight in Tekong or Marsling. -
